The fabric is so much nicer than I expected for the price. Drapes beautifully and it has not lost its shape after three washes.

Some dresses are for occasions. The Jilana is for days when you want to look like you made an effort without actually making one. A relaxed, voluminous maxi in a crisp, lightweight fabric — V-neckline with a stand collar and button placket that keeps it from reading too casual, a gathered empire waist that releases into a full, sweeping skirt, and a layered ruffle hem that catches the air when you walk. The kind of dress that works at a seaside lunch, a farmer's market, a friend's backyard. Anywhere the day is unhurried and the light is good.
"I knew the Jilana was right the moment I saw the hem move. That layered ruffle at the bottom is what separates it from every other white maxi out there — it adds volume and rhythm without making the dress feel costumey or overdone. The stand collar with the button placket is the other detail I keep coming back to: it makes the neckline interesting without being complicated, and it means you can wear this with nothing around your neck and still look completely finished. In white it's the most classic — almost vintage French. In light blue it's softer, more relaxed, and honestly the one I reach for first on a warm morning." — Sarah Mitchell, Founder of Valora New York
✔ Stand Collar with Button Placket — a structured, upright collar with a short button-front opening that adds a tailored, French-inspired quality to an otherwise relaxed silhouette.
✔ Empire Waist with Gathered Skirt — a raised waistline with a full gather that releases into a voluminous skirt, flattering through the midsection and giving the dress its effortless, flowing shape.
✔ Layered Ruffle Hem — a double-tiered ruffle at the ankle that adds movement, volume, and a playful finish that photographs well and moves beautifully in person.
✔ 3/4-Length Sleeves — hit just below the elbow for a relaxed, unfussy look that works in warm weather without feeling like a full summer dress.
✔ Side Pockets — deep enough to be useful, set into the side seams so they don't interrupt the silhouette.
✔ Two Colorways: White and Light Blue — white is the sharper, more classic read — pairs with sandals, espadrilles, or bare feet. Light blue is softer and more relaxed, and the color that makes a summer tan look its best.
Linen-look ease. French collar structure. The maxi that makes any day feel like the good kind.

Seasonal sale
Rosie, 65, and her daughter Kylie, 18, built this store after Kylie asked why nobody seemed to design for either of their ages, and decided the answer was to build something themselves.
What began as a mother and daughter disagreeing about clothes grew into something more.
Rosie & Kylie Melbourne is not just a store, it is a dedication. Every piece is chosen by two women, decades apart, who insist that fashion shouldn't skip generations to get it right.
Now, we're celebrating that belief with our biggest sale of the season.
